Chapter 120: Unprofessional Grain Team
The uncle went back to discuss things with the grandfather, and the second girl also went to the uncle's house to discuss this matter with the uncle!
"Uncle, if Grandpa Tai thinks this matter is good, then let Brother Da Man lead the team, and I will select dozens of people from the coaches and students in the town to follow Brother Da Man. Our own family can be bodyguards, and we don't need to spend extra money to hire a dart game! Can you rest assured that Brother Da Man will go? ”
Uncle frowned and said, "What do I have to worry about, it's that I'm worried that Manzi is younger, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to suppress the formation!" ”
That's just as well! Erya is also a little worried! It is most suitable for Wu Fenggang to lead the team, but he is now busy with something more important than this! Cai Baocheng followed Xiaohu and them again, and Liu Wenzhu and they were not as experienced as Daman.
"Does Uncle have a suitable candidate?"
The uncle thought for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Why don't I follow?!" ”
Erya shook her head without any consideration: "No! You're so soft-hearted! Definitely not a business runner! ”
Erya and Uncle discussed for a long time, but did not discuss a suitable candidate. When Erya returned from her uncle's house, the uncle was already waiting at her house.
"Uncle! Have you discussed this with your grandfather? Erya asked tightly.
The uncle nodded with a smile and said, "Yes!" Your grandfather is also very much in favor, let us immediately gather all the people in the village, ask who has surplus food, and if you want to sell it in the north, you can report it! Let's first count how much corn there is, how much rice there is, and how many trucks we need."
Erya nodded, "Yes!" These have to be counted first, and I have to ask my mother's surplus grain if it is sold!
Uncle, there is one more thing. I had to ask you to give me an idea, I planned to let Daman be the leader, but my uncle was worried that Daman was too young to hold down the formation! Uncle is there any suitable candidate to lead the team!? ”
The uncle smiled: "I also thought of this with your grandfather." And there are already candidates. The second child of my family, once followed the third child to run a lot back to the business, but later had a serious illness in the south, and almost did not come back alive. This time it was not far away. I guess he should be acceptable! ”
"That's good! Just ask the second uncle to help bring it once! Please also ask the uncle to talk to the second uncle! "This matter is solved, and Erya's worries are one less thing.
The uncle remembered what happened to the second girl before: "Little tiger daughter-in-law! We should go to the government as soon as possible and take over the land given by the imperial court, otherwise those tenants will not be able to deal with it! ”
Only then did Erya remember the matter of the court's granting of land, and she had been busy harvesting rice. I was so busy with the barren mountains that I forgot about it! "That's right! That's done! Wait until we're done with that. Take over the fields! I'm going to collect 40% of the tenants' rent, uncle, what are you going to do? ”
The uncle did not directly answer Erya's question, but said something else: "It is said that it is official land, and it is either given or taken over by the government, and it cannot be bought and sold privately by the people." I heard that when the tenants there rented directly from the government, they collected 30% of the rent, and the tenants paid the taxes themselves. If we collect 40%, what are you going to do with the taxes? ”
The second girl has a headache. How can there be so many things! "What is the uncle going to do? I'm just like my uncle! ”
The uncle smiled: "I have discussed it with your grandfather, and I will not change it according to the original Guantian!" ”
Er Ya frowned. It's very uneasy. "In this way, our land rent is much less than that of other people's families, and it is easy for other big families to hate!"
The uncle shook his head with a smile and said, "No!" That's Guantian, and I know what kind of rent collection it was originally. If it is added, it will make those tenants dissatisfied, and then there will be some chaos. We can't clean it up either. Those big families know the twists and turns, and the surrounding tenants also know about it. I won't cause hatred to others because of this. Even they sympathize with landlords like us because of the strength of those tenants! ”
Erya felt that he had seen a long time, and there were still landlords who were afraid of tenants! But that's what happened in my own home. I can't help but believe her!
"Okay then! Just do what you do, uncle, but if there are one or two thorns, then don't be afraid of him indulgence, and I'll clean it up when the time comes! "Although Erya has to give in to the majority, it is not polite to the few excesses!
The uncle summoned everyone to talk about selling grain, and Erya also rode to her mother's house and asked her grandfather and father if they would sell grain!
Grandpa was a little worried, and said worriedly: "This has sold all the food in the family, what if there is another disaster?" ”
The second girl had a headache and had to persuade patiently: "Grandpa, what are you afraid of?" The drought has passed, and there is no possibility of flooding on such high ground! If you have enough food for a year, you will already have a lot! What's more, your family has collected so much more corn this year?! ”
The second father was not afraid, and persuaded on the side: "Dad! If there is a drought, several large reservoirs of Eryatou's house are full, and even if it doesn't rain next year, it can guarantee a year's harvest. Our family doesn't have to worry about waterlogging, so let's take the extra food away from the second girl! ”
In the end, grandpa didn't know whether he figured it out or was persuaded by the big guy, and finally stopped being stubborn and promised to take away all the surplus grain to Erya, and Uncle Erya's family was also willing to sell the surplus grain to Erya!
In the end, in addition to the corn taken away by the Northland people when they left, there were still more than 100,000 and nearly 200,000 catties, and there were more than 100,000 catties of rice (this is mainly due to the families of the second Ya and the uncle and the second uncle), and a carriage can only hold 1,500 catties at most. Good boy! If this is pulled away at one time, it will cost two hundred taels of carriages?!
Forget it, Erya finally discussed with the uncle and grandfather, first send thirty truckloads of corn and twenty trucks of rice to the water!
Before the convoy was about to set off, Er Ya solemnly said to the second uncle of the grandfather's family: "Second uncle, this time is the key to our family's reputation in the north, our family is Chen Dao, you must make it clear to others, it is best to sell it slightly cheaper than others, and it can only be sold to customers who eat at home, and it must not be sold to those grain merchants."
And the corn, which was newly harvested this year, can be used as seeds. It is also sold at the price of food! Because of the lack of food, it is only sold in the Northland people's area, and try not to conflict with the grain merchants over there!
And you must calculate well, in addition to the hired car and horse fares, road expenses, and labor, how much is the final profit? We brought grain to the Northland and sold it. Is it worth it? ”
The second uncle was a little embarrassed by a young man who was a generation younger than him as he solemnly explained, but he had to listen patiently, and nodded in response: "Hmm! "Good!" "I see!" Ay! Good! ”
Although Daman couldn't follow Xiaohu and them to the grassland, he was still very happy to be able to get this errand. When I left, I was very imposing, and I was laughed at by Xiaolong for a while!
Erya didn't expect that they had only been gone for seven or eight days, and Liu Wenzhu came back with a few people and more than a dozen empty carriages. Erya was not lightly frightened.
He yelled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Wenzhu saw that he was scared of the lady of the owner's family, he smiled, and the student who followed next to him stepped forward to explain: "The lady of the owner's family!" Our grain team went out of the provincial capital to the north, passing by a small county town, where we were resting and eating, and when it was known that we were transporting grain to the north, we asked Wang Erye if he was selling? Wang Erye said that it could be sold. However, it is only sold to customers who eat their own grain, not to grain stores. When people ask the price, it's very cheap. Just a swarm of people rushed to buy food, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many of us, it would be a bad thing! ”
Er Ya is really speechless, how could the second uncle do such a thing? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Your goal is the Northland!
She didn't say much, so she casually asked, "Then what do you mean by coming back now?" ”
Liu Wenzhu was not happy to see Erya, but frowned and looked very entangled. didn't dare to laugh stupidly, and hurriedly replied to Erya: "The lady of the owner!" Wang Erye means. Let's hurry back and fill up the car and rush over!
Grandpa also hurriedly followed the uncle, and heard that he had to load food and leave. said to Erya, who was still struggling: "Hurry up and find someone to load the car, you go and get some food for them." As long as you can sell it, it doesn't matter where you sell it! It's better than nesting in a barn to feed mice! ”
"Hey!" Erya also feels a little dull, yes! As long as it can be sold, it doesn't matter where it is sold! Aren't they all going to be sold anyway!
Load up the car and get something to eat. Erya was originally worried about their little hairy heads, but she couldn't leave, so she had to send them away with a lot of advice!
Grandpa looked at Erya like that, and couldn't help but laugh at Erya, "I look at you!" How can you be more verbose than an old man like me! ”
Erya patted the ass by the way: "So that's it!" Grandpa lived to be more than 100 years old, so there was no problem at all! You're old-hearted! ”
Grandpa smiled and swiped his beard and said, "The old man doesn't dare to live so long, lest he be scolded by you sharp-mouthed old monsters!" ”
Er Ya smiled and diverted the topic and asked Grandpa: "Grandpa, do you have a little corn at home?" ”
"Stay! They don't want to keep it at all, I want to keep a little, and occasionally drink a millet paste to digest! ”
Erya remembered the cornflower she used to eat, so she talked to her grandfather: "Actually, there is another way to eat this corn, which is liked by the elderly and children, and they can't get tired of eating it." It's just that at the moment, there is no such closed pot dedicated to popcorn! ”
Grandpa Tai smiled and excited: "Don't you like to make those weird things the most!" Why don't you get it? ”
Er Ya wants to do it, but it's cast iron, and it needs a pressure gauge, which can't be done in a while! But she didn't want to admit defeat, so she said stiffly: "Don't worry, if you don't bring it sooner or later, I will definitely be able to get it!" ”
"That's good! The old man is just waiting to eat the popcorn you mentioned! "Grandpa didn't want to stay longer, he had to go back to rest. People are easy to get sleepy, although they don't want to sleep, but when the time comes, they have to lie down for a while!
"The eldest great-granddaughter-in-law! You're busy! The old man went home and lay down for a while! When people are old, this body can't hold up if it's a little tired! ”
Erya was busy sending grandpa to her grandfather, "Grandpa, slow down, I'll send you home!" Let you go back, I don't worry! ”
Although Grandpa Tai felt that Er Ya was making a little fuss, he did not refuse, and was helped by Er Ya to the door of the house. (To be continued)
